New Years Eve Outfit and Make-Up Tips

So with it being the night before new year's eve I have been going through my wardrobe to come up with the perfect outfit to wear (last minute as ever). A new year's eve party is the perfect excuse to dress up sparkly - very on trend this season! The dress I'm wearing is a gorgeous deep red colour with a sequinned bodice from Primark - nice and affordable. Matched that with a ring that has a red jewel and some elegant earrings from Swarovski. And the outfit is completed with some on-trend chunky wedge shoe boots from New Look and clutch bag from Primark. 

New Year's Make Up Ideas

Taking inspiration straight from this season's runway shows, create some very fashionable beauty looks.

Metallic in Gold, Silver or Bronze:

To create these looks first apply your foundation, this will help the shadow stick to the eyelids and not wear off. Then cover your lids in a shade slightly lighter than the metallic shade you wish to use. Once covered, start to blend in the metallic shade from your outer eye fading into the lighter shade at your inner eye. Using a small brush apply some shadow along your lower lash line. To finish off, define eyes with a kohl pencil liner or for a more dramatic look, use liquid liner and then apply plenty of mascara.

Edgy Punk Look as seen at Rodarte:

To create this look, repeat the steps above and replace metallic shades with black shadow. For an even darker look, apply pencil liner to your waterline.
